DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

In the following, practical examples of this invention are explained based on the drawings.

An inside diameter machining tool 1 which is the turning machining tool has a main body 2 formed in the almost cylindrical, as it is shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b. At the central portion of the main body 2, a tool holding portion 3 is formed. An engaging groove 3a engaging for tool holding mechanism which is provided to a tool rest of not illustrating machine tool has been formed in the tool holding portion 3. At the upper part in the FIG. of the main body 2, a drive motor 5 with brake is attached. At a output shaft 5a of the drive motor 5 with brake, a shaft 6 is connected. At the inside of the main body 2, the shaft 6 is rotatably supported through bearings 7. A bevel gear 9 is fixed at the lower end in the Figure of the shaft 6. A Shaft 10 is geared with the bevel gear 9 through a bevel gear 11. Through bearings 7, the shaft 10 is similarly and rotatably supported. At the shaft 10, an insert holding portion 12 is fixed.

The insert holding portion 12 is rotatably provided for the main body 2 in such a manner that it rotates with the shaft 10 as its center in the predetermined plane in arrow A, B direction. And, at the tip of the insert holding portion 12, an insert 13 is detachably attached through a set screw 15.

The inside diameter machining tool 1 has the composition like the above. In the case of inside diameter machining of the workpiece using the inside diameter machining tool 1, this inside diameter machining tool 1 is attached to the tool rest of a machine tool which is not shown through the tool holding portion 3 thereof. In this condition, this inside diameter machining tool 1 is used as well as an usual inside diameter machining tool for the workpiece.

In this time, the drive motor 5 is appropriately driven to rotate. Through the shafts 6,10, the bevel gears 9,11, the insert holding portion 12 is rotated and is driven in the arrow A, B direction. Then, in the arrow A, B direction, the insert 13 attached to the tip of the insert holding portion 12 can oscillate and move over the W1 width of the insert holding portion 12. Therefore, it is possible that the insert 13 takes various positions for the main body 2. Therefore, in the first stage of inside diameter machining, for example, the inside diameter machining tool 1 is moved downward in the Figure in such a state that the insert holding portion 12 is positioned in an usual standby position S. By this, the inside diameter machining tool 1 machines the end face 16a of a driven workpiece 16 which rotates about an axial center CT as its center so as to bore a prepared hole 16b with the D1 diameter. In addition, the drive motor 5 is driven afterwards, the insert holding portion 12 is rotated and is driven in the arrow B direction, and the insert 13 is gradually moved to a position P1. So the prepared hole 16b is machined in such a manner that the diameter of the hole 16b is expanded to the diameter D2 corresponding to the position P1.

And, it is also possible to easily carry out machining of what is called the bag hole, which shape is that a workpiece entrance 16c part is narrow and a back part is wide, like the following by such composition. That is to say, the inside diameter machining tool 1 is inserted into the hole from the entrance 16c in the condition that the inside diameter machining tool 1 is positioned at a standby position S. In such a state, the insert holding portion 12 is appropriately rotate in the arrow A, B direction so as to machine the workpiece.

Still, the output shaft 5a of the drive motor 5 is retained in the arrest state, because it has the brake function. Therefore, the drive motor 5 isn't carelessly reversed with the cutting resistance that works from the insert 13. The insert holding portion 12 and the insert 13 are surely retained at predetermined angle position about the shaft 10 as its center, which is rotated and indexed by the drive motor 5.

Again, instead of the bevel gears 9,11, the insert holding portion 12 may be rotated and may be driven by using a worm 17 and a worm wheel 19, as it is shown in FIGS. 2a-2c. In this case, there is no necessity of installing the brake in the drive motor 5 side by inversion prevention function of the worm 17 and the worm wheel 19. Still, by appending the identical code to the part that is identical with FIGS. 1a and 1b, the description of the part is omitted.

The above-mentioned embodiment explained the case of the inside diameter machining tool as the turning machining tool that this invention is applied. Naturally and however, it is also possible to apply this invention to the turning tool for outer diameter machining without limiting to the inside diameter machining tool.

The present invention is explained based on the embodiments described above. Embodiment described for this invention is exemplification, and it is not limited. And, the range of the invention be shown by the attached claims, and it is not restricted for the description of the embodiment. Therefore, the deformation and change belong to the claims are within this invention.
